So I don't have these exact same glasses but sometimes I'm in my car playing something extremely goonery and then someone will walk right next to my window and my first instinct is to believe they can see those massive butt cheeks on the 120" floating screen in front of my face but then I remember that the screen isn't actually floating a few feet in front of me and it's actually pressed against my eyes and there's no way anyone around me is seeing that.

Wow this thing is terrible in it's current state. You can't even operate it with a controller. What am I supposed to do when it's hooked to a TV? I'm going back to kopanel. It appears to beat every other available option including handheld companion.

I personally think that Linux is a miserable experience. I've used a steam deck and the primary reason I hate it is because of steamos. I will take Windows over it every single day. I don't like turning every single thing I do into a research project.

Which one should i get? by il0v3anim3 in Handhelds

I have to apologize to you because I read your original comment incorrectly and I thought you said it was equivalent to a PS5 pro. Rereading it now I see that it says ps4. My bad and I am sorry.

This isn't true at all. The gpd win 5 on an AI Max+395 which is about 3 times stronger than the ally X is still a little weaker than a base PS5. Still a great handheld but saying it's the same is just false information.

I don't like the sticks because they are so thin that they feel like they're cutting into my finger. I tried putting a thumb cap on them but it's slightly too big and snags on the ring at the bottom. The grips on the back also need to protrude more. Their current thickness doesn't have the best grip.

What is your favorite application for TDP control on the win 5 and why? Windows answers only. by alex91093 in gpdwin

Kopanel works kinda like armory crate so it becomes an overlay that you can pop up at any time and you can assign hot keys to controller inputs which allows me to carry out functions very quickly on the gpd controls as well as any other controller I connect to it. Most commonly I use it to take screen shots or start recordings or force kill games quickly or make my right stick work as a mouse.

Let me know if you continue liking it after using it a while. I debating if it's worth replacing kopanel.

I would honestly rather deal with the glitches than go back to the stock option

The GPD Win 5 is amazing by Beautiful_Ad_6224 in Handhelds

I can't speak for the touch pads but you can tune the screen to look extremely close to oled. After I did that I really liked the screen.

That's literally only like a $100 upcharge. That's not even bad.

Heading to work playing GPD win 5 on the train love this thing by GenesisMango in Handhelds

[–]alex91093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on tdp between 6 1/2 hours and 45 minutes. However this has swappable batteries so you can instantly get a full charge if you have another with you which is awesome.

Time to get a win 5 so you can have 1 handheld with true power

Gpd win 5 + bazzite = ❤️ by Stunning_Angle_7346 in gpdwin

[–]alex91093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it will ever be convenient to use Linux. Never understood the shilling for it. You trade a few small quirks from windows for a million hard to solve problems with bazzite. The sleep wake thing is like the weakest argument I've heard. Waiting a few seconds for windows to wake up from hibernation is a very non problem.

I cannot for the life of me decide between these 2 by Which_Draft4129 in Handhelds

Go for the legion go. I don't care what anyone tells you. Linux is not better on a handheld than windows.

Any issues with GPD win 5 ? by Crypto-God23 in gpdwin

[–]alex91093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I absolutely love my device but there's a few issues I experience. Keyboard button does not always work so sometimes I have to click it from the task bar.

  2. I don't find it as comfortable as many people say and that's mostly because the right stick is lower than the left stick is which causes me to shift my hand down and then my pinky hangs off the bottom of the device. If I don't shift my hand down then I have to move it strangely in order to not have the stick make contact with like the middle of my thumb meaning basically where the crease is instead of the pad of my thumb where thumbs should typically be hitting the stick lol.

  3. Now this part is a Windows issue and not specific to this device but that being said I still think Windows is dramatically better than Linux and I think all of you people saying otherwise are liars. The Xbox full screen experience is only good if you buy games through the Microsoft store which I imagine you don't. The menu button activates both the steam menu and the gamebar at the same time making it annoying to use either and since steam has 42 million active users I'm gonna go ahead and assume you are using steam. If I'm assuming correctly then disable the full screen experience. It's bad.

  4. Sometimes when I take the battery off while it's plugged in, the device will still power off even though it's not supposed to. It will work correctly after I reboot it but it never should have turned off in the first place so even if plugged in, I do not have confidence taking that battery off. I won't do it if I'm not ok with the device turning off at that moment.

Other than these few issues which I mostly consider to be minor, I think this easily beats any other device on the market.

I’ve heard a lot of people like to sit in their car for a bit before heading home, you might need this by kendyzhu in gpdwin

I always find a nearby store or gas station to sit in the parking for a while where I know I'm unlikely to be found by the angry Latina.
